Cervical Cancer Screening Initiative Problem – Since August, 2012 no longer had a clinic based gynecologist – Realized afternoon GYN clinic not effective for screening – Incentives (gift bags, Shop Rite gift cards) did not improve stats – Had a high % of abnormal PAPs requiring further intervention, ie., colposcopies. – 134 PAPs were done from July 2012 through March Twenty-five percent (25%) of those PAPs were abnormal. – 117 of those PAPs were screened for HPV. Thirty one percent (31%) of those screened were positive for HPV. Interventions to improve screenings – Hired PD APN to perform PAPs during busy morning clinics so patient could get PAP on the same day of routine medical visit – Linked with hospital GYN clinic for additional availability for pap screening and routine days for colposcopies – RNs/MCMs increased efforts to retrieve pap smear results performed in outside clinics – APN monitors paps done via an excel spread sheet – Use of huddle teams to review charts and address primary health care needs before patient is seen by provider so that referral to the GYN APN is made on a timely basis – Ongoing chart audits done by RN’s 2-3X/year
